used its market clout in an attempt to monopolise the field of digital
media.
The lawsuit, filed in a US federal court in San Jose, California,
alleges Microsoft had pursued a "broad course of predatory conduct"
over several years, resulting in substantial lost revenue for
RealNetworks.

« The dirtiest car in Helsinki that became quite covered in all
sorts of pictures and slogans. »
It has been an odd sort of week as the following days after a holiday
weekend usually are, only amplified by visitors and having today as a
holiday, too. I'm even more disoriented than usual as I wondered where
the copy of Presso was this morning [comes on Saturday]. :)
Last night Jarkko rang me while I was in my odd mood to match the odd
week and informed me that we were going to be seeing a movie at 8p if
there were any reservation cancellations. He said something about
Orlando Bloom and the title and I went home to walk Otava. I asked
before the movie what the premise was and when I heard 'the crusades',
my mind computed Bloom+Holy War=3 hour epic that is not anywhere close
to being comedy which, I suppose, is a good thing since 3 hours of
comedy might be hard on the bladder as you try to laugh.
As we sat down and waited for the movie, a pair of actors were
running around in front of screen which I assumed was a bit of
absurdist theatre as a plug for some of the arts around town. It made
no sense until I heard the guy say 'nice teeth' and it became clear
that the whole thing was a live action commercial for a certain brand
of toothpaste that conveniently had a brochure in the drink holders.
On the backs of the seats, Nokia also had glow-in-the-dark ads for
some new model of mobile. Maybe it's because I'm old enough to
remember going to movies when you had to be on time because the movie
started on time with only occasional trailers, but fuck these
advertisers who make us prisoners of their incessant pitches and,
well, fuck the theatres too. The ads showed a little bit of unusual
creativity but, c'mon, glow-in-the-dark ads in a theatre where your
light-seeking eyeball keeps being drawn to it? Assholes. There seem to
be no boundaries anymore with regard to when, where and how we are
hustled by an ever increasing amount of advertisements. I fully expect
toilet paper to come with ads and the toilet to play a jingle on
flushing any day now.
On the bright side, the movie was quite good. I drooled over Jeremy
Irons briefly and thoroughly enjoyed the fact that this movie will
likely make the list of movies the Catholic church urges its followers
not to see due to objectionable content. Devout Catholics who believe
the Crusades were a highlight in the history of christianity will
likely be quite offended as I don't expect fanatical Mel Gibson and
his sect to be snapping up tickets. I may just have to go
see it a few more times to encourage more movies like this in these
crazy times. The movie did leave me with the same questions I have
when reading the news: Why do the crazy idiots seem to get people to
follow them even knowing that without water in a desert against the
natives they're dead? Why are the sane people usually agnostic and so
rare? Why do religious fanatics still abound and why hasn't anyone
burned Vatican City and salted the smoldering ground as a reminder of
its thousands of years of corruption? Some questions are eternal. I
also thought about what would happen if someone discovered a document
that revealed that Jerusalem was not the holy site people have fought
so pointlessly over for thousands of years. What if it was really atop
Mt. Ararat in Turkey? or some rock long since covered in sand out in
the Sahara?
The best quote of the week was from a sure sign of great economic
times in the US, a programmer turned
pooper-scooper professes his love for St. Bernards in a moment of
zen-like wisdom. :)
St. Bernard (dogs) are my favorite customers since they poop in large
piles which are easy to find.
And then he goes on to say....
It sure beats computer programming because it's flexible, and I get
to be outside.
He's right about technology being even less exciting than scooping
poop these days. Hmmm....

Intermec Sees Symbol's Revenge Patent
Lawsuit, And Piles On Another For Spite
Intermec Sees Symbol's Revenge Patent
Lawsuit, And Piles On Another For Spite
03/25/2005 06:57 AMAnd people thought the idea the idea that companies were getting
patents for the
sake
of nuclear stockpiling was silly? Well, it appears that nuclear
war is now breaking out between Symbol and Intermec. Last year,
Intermec started the fun by suing a bunch of companies, including
Symbol, for supposedly
violating
some RFID patents. Two weeks ago, Symbol thought it was only fair
to
sue
Intermec over its own WiFi patents. Because no fired shot can go
unanswered, the good lawyers at Intermec have now come up with
more RFID patents they can sue Symbol over. Or maybe
they're the same ones and they're suing again. Honestly, it doesn't
matter. All that's really happening here is that the two sides are
wasting a ridiculous amount of money on lawyers and lawsuits -- when
that money should be going towards new product development and getting
products to market. At some point, the two sides will settle and
there will be some press release about cross licensing patents and no
one will be happy, except for some of the lawyers involved. All of
this "innovating" (that's what patents are for, right?) is going to
kill us all -- or, at least make a lot of this technology much more
expensive.
